hook plugin returns null

Gabby Romano1

hi,

I am using stash 3.6.1 and have a shell script to be triggered as a pre-receive hook via the external hook plugin.

I am getting this message and the push is failing:

Writing objects: 100% (8/8), 670 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done.
Total 8 (delta 6), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: Hook com.ngs.stash.externalhooks.hook.ExternalPreReceiveHook failed. Error:
remote: null
To ssh://git@<server repo url>:7999/hpln/backend.git
! [remote rejected] BudIceEverGreen -> BudIceEverGreen (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git@<server repo url>

 

any idea what is going on ?

That means that the hook com.ngs.stash.externalhooks.hook.ExternalPreReceiveHook is running into an exception and failing as a result. Stash then rejects the request to be safe and not let pushes through that shouldn't be accepted.

Looks like a programming error in the hook,. If I'd have to guess, I'd say it ran into a NullPointerException.

I'd check the logs and raise an issue with the plugin developer that provided that hook. In the mean time, I'd disable the repository hook in the repository settings.
